Disabling site creation in the SharePoint admin center
We have temporarily turned off the ability for users to create Communications sites, because we have some governance and communication decisions to make... I followed https://support.office.com/en-gb...
I'm not sure If I'm following Vasil's logic here but if you disable self-service site creation in SPO Admin Center and you also configure who can create Groups by means of the Azure AD Policiy you are then controlling in fact who can create "hidden" SPO team sites: only the people that can create Groups as configured with the Azure AD policy
Thanks for the reply. Is there no simple way to fully disable sites being created by Groups/Teams such that no stub sites are provisioned when a group/team is created?
Imagine we already have an Intranet, we already have 100's of sites. WHy would we ever want to have sites auto provisioned in the first place?
I do see value in site provisioning for the new customer, but if we already have a mature SharePoint Intranet, the sprawl coming from site collections appearing is painful to manage, delete, and govern all together.
Just my opinion. ;)
- No, there is no way to remove the SPO part from the creation process for Teams and Groups
